Wednesday 18th February 9.30am
From Dust we come and to dust we shall return. Ash Wednesday can so often feel like a day full of melancholy. Yet for me it is filled with hope. A recognition that death doesn’t have the last word. That there is a mystery at the point of birth and a mystery at the point of death, that as human beings we cannot fully understand. Ash Wednesday reminds me that I am part of something much bigger than my small existance. That there is life bigger than all my troubles and I can invite God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit into all of it.
Death does not and will not have the last word.
You are most welcome to come along and mark Ash Wednesday at the Good Shepherd this year. The service will be in the church and all present will be invited to have the sign of the cross put on their forhead or hand.
If you’d like a song here is Dust by the Brilliance through the form of dance.
May God meet you this day, exactly where you are in whatever you find yourself doing. May you know that the trinity keep company with you, delight in you and invite you into the dance of the Spirit.
